Perrier Jouet Grand Brut Champagne 750ml: A Sparkling Symphony of Celebration

Winery Background

Founded in Épernay in 1811 by Pierre‑Nicolas Perrier and Rose‑Adélaïde Jouët, Maison Perrier‑Jouët stands as a beacon of artistry and quality in Champagne. From the outset, the founders emphasized estate vines in premier and grand cru terroirs, allowing them to pioneer the world’s first lightly dosed brut, Cuvée K, in 1846—a milestone for finesse in sparkling wines. The house remains steeped in Art Nouveau tradition, immortalized by Emile Gallé’s iconic white-anemone motif first featured on Belle Époque bottles in 1902. Today, the estate farms over 100 ha of vineyards—nearly half in grand cru Chardonnay locations like Cramant and Avize.

Product Description

Perrier‑Jouët Grand Brut NV (750 ml) is the house’s signature non‑vintage champagne, balanced and refined. Crafted from ~40% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 20% Chardonnay, this blend showcases the structured fruit of pinots and the crisp elegance of Chardonnay.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: A floral overture of white flowers and acacia, fresh orchard fruit (pear, green apple), and delicate pastry notes of brioche and vanilla.
• Palate: Crisp, refined, and medium-bodied: green apple, citrus zest, toasted almond, ginger snap, and supple brioche richness. A polished texture evokes suede or nubuck leather.
• Finish: Clean, saline‑mineral finish that lingers with citrus peel and chalkiness
